CATALOGUE 



OF 



Robert B. Chambers' 

COLLECTION OF AMERICAN 

COINS AND MEDALS. 



MOUNT PLEASANT, ROXBURY, MASS., 

The ^collection described in the present catalogue, 
though not large, comprises many most desirable specimens, 
particularly in the departments of Washingtons and Colonials. 

Scattered through the catalogue will be found nearly 
an entire series r of the national and other mint medals in 
bronze, with many in silver. 

The descriptions have been drawn as correctly as pos- 
sible, and I think it will be found that the pieces are not over- 
rated. 

As soon after the sale as they can be got ready, priced 
catalogues will be forwarded to order at $1 each — with names 
of purchasers added, the price will be $2 each. 

Priced catalogues of my last sale are now ready, 
price $1.50. 

About the last of April, I shall offer for sale in New 
York, at the Book Trade-sale Eooms of J. E. Cooley, the col- 
lection of Francis S. Hoffman, Esq. Catalogues will be ready 
early in April.

the character of this Collection, it being perhaps the most 
remarkable ever offered for sale in America. As the owner's 
name does not appear in the " Directory," it is presumed 
that he modestly chose to conceal his identity by a nom de 
Illume. Should the enterprising proprietor ever be found, it 
is to be hoped he will receive some fitting testimonial, both 
on account of the select nature of his collection and the re- 
markable literary ability displayed in the production of the 
catalogue.

Having always on hand a large collection of coins, most ordinary pieces, and 
many of great rarity, can be furnished to order. 

Parcels of coins forwarded for examination and selection, to parties known to 
me, or furnishing suitable references. 

Large or email collections purchased for cash, at liberal prices. 

At the present time a fine collection wanted of the value of from three thousand 
to ten thousand dollars. 

Cabinets arranged and catalogued ; collections prepared for sale by auction or 
otherwise ; auction 6ales attended in New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, and 
purchases made for the usual commission. 

Correspondence solicited with all who wish to buy, sell, or exchange coins. 

Priced, and priced and named Catalogues furnished to order, of all the princi-

Early-printed, rare, and curious American Books wanted ; also, Local Histories,

For *ny of which a reasonable price will be paid, or a liberal exchange given

Riverside, Munsell, Bradstreet and Wilson presses, limited editions of several val-
